CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Pull off the Big Bite™ Valve and straw from the cap. Clean it in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don’t recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit.

For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar’s lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.

To re-insert the Bite Valve into the cap:

Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position.

Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap.

I use the Better Bottle for my water needs every day at work...have used it about 3 years now. The valve still works, but the pivots (to help nest the valve or make it available for drinking) have worn so I decided to buy a new valve + cap. It appears redesigned so maybe the pivots are more substantial now. We'll see. Even without this 'upgrade' I'm very happy with the bottle...the loop in the cap allows me to easily carry it to meetings, along with my computer and/or notebook, in the crook of my finger.

Brand is great and have never had an quams about Camelbak. We own a few reserviors, and bottles. One bottle does leak. The other bottle has now been torn at the intermediate butyl tube running from suction straw to fill top mouth piece. This causes only air and a trickle of water to come through the bite valve.

I ordered a replacement cap and straw for my Camelback bottle. Price point was reasonable and it fit. The straw had to be cut a bit because it was too long but that was easy. Thank you for making replacement parts so that a whole bottle didn't end up in the landfill or recycling because of one broken part!

HiI have about 8 camelback bottles and a backpack.I have only replaced my eddy cap recently because for some reason on the airplane the pressure I suppose got to it and the bite valve would not close. So I replaced the whole cap. It seems to leak a bit and I never had that with any before?I still love all my other ones and use them daily

I ordered these caps as a replacement for my older camelbaks. The bottles are still in use but the bite valves are worn and no longer clean well. That style of bite valve is not longer available, so I replaced the whole cap. I like this one better as the valve has a place for your thumb to work the valve. the caps fit perfectly and the enclosed straw has directions to fit the length to your bottle. I really like that the caps are interchangeable and I don't have to throw my bottles away. Thank you CamelBak for that consideration!

This replacement for my old bottle fits great but the straw was too tall. No problem, I cut it to fit but I thought all products were standard size. I guess my bottle is too old. Stainless steel model.

I carry an insulated Camelbak bottle that I've had for five years almost everywhere I go. I bought two of these replacement caps because the old ones I had broke (e.g. the handle, the hinge that holds the straw, and mostly the part that you use to flip the straw up).

This new style cap seems much sturdier. I use one cap while the other is in the dishwasher. I have had them for a few months and they have held up very well so far.
